l'A Neuve

The duo of Anouck Genthon and David Meier was founded on the mutual desire to combine singular modes of playing that were initially predefined for each other. In this perspective, David focuses solely on the bass drum of the drumset as a resonator and amplifier of found objects, seeking new freedoms in a consciously chosen limitation. Anouck, on the other hand, is deepening her sound research on the violin, linked to the playing and the specific timbre of a Tuareg single-stringed fiddle, the music of which she studied as an ethnomusicologist years earlier.

The intersection of these two distinct sound approaches gives us the opportunity to hear a textural music that melts into a sound flow in continuous transformation as well as into a particular tension linked to the strong oppositions of their respective instruments.
